Sorry To be Late but The Servers went down here Too!

Developer News   2012-05-31

Our servers took an arrow to the knee! We think we've removed the arrow completely now so hopefully we'll remain standing a little bit longer this time. Once we're confident that we've regained our footing completely, we'll compensate for this unexpected downtime by extending your membership subscriptions. Thank you for your patience.

Minor Network Issues We've experienced some minor problems with the strange electronic gizmos that rule our world down in the basement. We're back online now and we'll do whatever damage control is necessary to get world spinning properly again. Thank you for your patience.

Resurrect the Dead Challenge the laws of nature to bring back an old character of yours from the grave. Skills, attributes, achievements, and personal works such as songs will all be available for the resurrected character like nothing ever happened. However, the resurrected character will not have any items, tattoos, money, or material possessions left. Likewise, the resurrected character won't be part of its old artist. This resurrection option will be available FREE OF CHARGE to old players returning to the game without a living character on their account real soon. Old players have asked us for this feature for a long time and we're adding this option mainly for them as a free service. Right now however, it's only available as a credit product for existing players with dead people on their accounts. When this resurrection option becomes available for free to those without any living characters on their account, we will also add a similar feature for those players who dislike the idea of reviving an old corpse. This option will be to start the game with a somewhat less skilled replica of an old character but at a much younger age without any previous history or accomplishments in its past. If this game was about your life as a sheep we could call this feature "cloning", but since it's not, we'd like to think of it as the discovery of an unknown groupie love child. Please consider the following before purchasing this as a credit product from us: With the exception of skills, attributes, songs, and some eventual family ties. You'll have nothing but old age to brag about. Note: old songs still score high on stage these days and this is something that will be tweaked in the near future before we go live with the free resurrections.

Let's try that logging in thing again! In the deepest dungeons of Popmundo 2.0, where a significant number of Ice Trolls dwell, we stumbled upon a little surprise which we think may have caused all the login problems. So. Please try to log in again, even if you tried it after yesterday's community news. Actually, even if you tried it before 12:10 CET today.

Logins and unread messages in Popmundo 2.0 The login system has been rewritten, which hopefully solves the login problems some of you've been having. Please do try to log in again, and if you still fail - report what happens in a Popmundo 1.0 bug report. Also - the system responsible for unread messages has also been rewritten. From now on, messages should remain unread until you actually read them. In order to save your inboxes a bit, we've marked all messages up until 15.30 CET yesterday as read. Going live in 5... 4... 3...

Logging in using Skweezer or other "mobile transcoders" We currently cannot support logins via Skweezer.com, or other services that converts Popmundo into a more mobile friendly experience. In fact, we can only support logins made from our website directly. The reason is that Skweezer, and most like other services like it, have problems with how our load balancing system (the one making sure that you end up on the server with best performance) works. We are still working on finalizing our own mobile skin. For more info, check below.   We validate your login on www.popmundo.com, and then transfer you to the server that offers the best performance, and Skweezer seems unable to handle the "redirect" to the new server. This is not an error on our side, but rather in Skweezer. Our own mobile skin is a work in progress, and as soon as we've come up with a good way of presenting the menus in a manner that works on a smart phone, and have rewritten some of the more complex functions that require more than your phone can offer, it'll be released. Until then, please notice that we do not, and can not, offer support on logins made via other services.

Minor outage
A lvl 21 Ice Troll ran amok among our servers, and caused the game engines to go down for about 15 minutes. Everything is up and running again, but some transports might not have made it in time for the shows. Report any failed ones as bugs, and we'll fix them manually.
